Now we'd love to know if the framework:

📢 Important notice 📢

The Election Period (also known as Caretaker) will begin at 12pm on Tuesday, September 17, and conclude at 6pm on Saturday, October 26, 2024.
🔒 In accordance with the Local Government Act 2020, councils must follow specific guidelines during the caretaker period leading up to elections.
🤔 So, what does Caretaker mean?
📰 This allocated time around Council Elections ensures that Council has processes in place that will ensure elections are conducted fairly and ethically – and safeguarding the authority of the incoming Council.

⏯️ This is why during the Caretaker period:
• Councils are restricted from making certain decisions, so most community consultations will pause.
• Material produced by councils must not influence the election outcome.
• Comments on Council’s social media will be disabled, to avoid any comments made about or by election candidates or the election.
• You will see a reduction in our posts
• Public Question and Submission Time is suspended

💬 If you have any questions or wish to contact us, we’re still available:
Phone: 03 8470 8888
Email: [email protected]
And will be responding to non-election related private messages.
